3. Now the man had also a high faculty called judgment. He continually
wondered why the woman did not despise him on account of his
selfishness. He soon discovered that it was because the woman lacked
sadly in judgment. The baby would lift up its voice in the night. That
baby must be attended to. The weather might be very cold. The man
despised that fact, but the woman, because it made her teeth ache and
her body cake and cramp, feared the cold. But the man also despised the
baby and all its appertainings--particularly the appertainings.
Therefore, the man debated within himself that he was very selfish, or
he would get up. Perhaps, being a "just" man, the way men go, he really
got up about once in a dozen times, but, candidly, he would probably
have seen that baby suffer ere he would have attended its wants any
oftener. The woman took it for granted that the man would not get up,
and yet she did not despise him. She did not have judgment enough to do

VANITY AND SELFISHNESS.

4. A man's vanity and selfishness are present (to a woman's perception)
in every movement. She likes them. They are the characteristics of

5. The man entered matrimony with all the trepidation born out of
thinking too much about it. It seemed to him like buying a
fifteen-thousand-dollar horse on instalments. This is just as it seems
to Mr. Bachelor, too. It was a pretty good price, but it was a
high-stepper, a flyer, a beauty. It would take him all his life to pay
for it, and it might founder the first year. But he had never in his
life wanted anything the way he wanted that woman. Mr. Bachelor has not
yet got to that stage.

RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL.

6. There is little doubt that, speaking of man as an animal, unchastened
by the benign influence of religion, "the male hates the sick female."
The female knows that. Yet in return she exhibits toward the sick male a
tenderness that makes his hair stand on end when he thinks of his own
short-comings.

7. The man's astonishment at reaching thirty was tremendous. He found he
was changing, and that marriage was evidently

THE EXPRESS PREPARATION FOR THIS CONTINGENCY.

He used to go to the theatre a great deal. He did not then notice that
the air in the auditorium was more rotten than the midnight winds that
blow over Chicago from the industrious rendering-houses on her
outskirts. It is now a real hardship to go to an ordinary dramatic
performance, and he thin
